I had the opportunity to go fishing in Seward, AK today. It was quite an adventure! Unfortunately, the weather was not ideal, but I was so distracted by all of the sights to really notice. Although, by not ideal I mean 45 deg. and raining all day! But what is that Swedish saying Peter? There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. So true! Not to mention we left at 3 AM! So painful! But seriously, it is like walking around in a postcard up here! The trees, the mountains, the water, the wildlife! The pictures don't even do it justice, but here is a little taste of my attempt at catching the big one.....

Getting acquainted with my pole and our trustly steed.

(Not quite what I was expecting, but I had plenty of rain gear. And how flattering it was!)

We were hoping to catch a King Salmon, but no such luck. Spring has sprung pretty late up here this year, which has made for a later salmon season. This little fella is a ling cod, apparently not like your typical cod, but a delicacy, and illegal to keep when caught in the bay.

Aw, man, that does look gorgeous!! You're right that it looks like a postcard. And I am guessing, now just a guess here, that the photo of you and the crew was pre-4am? Cause there is just a hint of 'what the hell am I doing up so early, postcards or not' that I get from your eyes...but again, just a guess.

What's shakin'??

What's up with this??

We thought this would be a fun way to stay in touch with our family and friends. We encourage you to visit often, comment with wild abandon, and live large. While we are spread out all over several different countries, know that we think of you often and miss you terribly. Until next time.....
